Works hard, good athlete, aggressive, tough tackling, decent technique. Not sure how he fits in though. Makes some sense if we sell Dendonker.

Every transfer is a risk though. Personally I was disappointed we didn’t go in for Szboszlai but if the plan was to go to a a RW instead of a RM that can get forward then I’m all aboard the Diaby train, choo, choo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Misha's insight on Diaby: " If we do sign Diaby and our system remains the same then he's more likely imo to be a second striker...he's more of a forward than a touchline winger... So if one looks at his heatmap it further illustrates that...he doesn't provide width...he drifts in centrally...width in that Leverkusen side is provided by Frimpong... So if we do land him there's still a strong possibility we remain in the market for a right winger imo... Alternatively if we go the 4-3-3 route where we use two inside forwards then needs are different...we may target an attacking right back rather than right winger...one that overlaps...

NeilS Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Gabby been on the Shisha pipe again And former Villa captain Gabby Agbonlahor believes his old employers could do a lot worse than to consider offering Pogba the chance to kick-start his career after a couple of seasons ruined by injury. “100 per cent yeah,” Agbonlahor tells talkSPORT (12th July, 9am). “If he got back to fitness, he could break into Villa’s side. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" Well in Emery's system the right winger was used to provide width when coming out of defense, but then they get forward in into narrow right just behind the striker. At least that is how Bailey was being used. Emery rarely player a no 10 and a right winger. If he played a no 10 then he had McGinn as a right midfielder. If he played a right winger then McGinn played as a hybrid 8 / 10. Also if you look at Villarreal they had 3 wide forwards that all got games. So I believe 2 wingers / wide forwards / no 10's are wanted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’d be expensive, plays predominantly on the right up front but has played the SS role previously so could be a decent option for us to play with and as comp for Watkins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" We’ve been linked with Diaby, Williams and Barnes, similar players in terms of being quick and direct, but we’ve also been linked to Goncalves and Asensio who are clearly more creative playmaker style of players. I don’t think Emery is the type of manager who would attempt to sign players without really understanding how they’d fit into his system so the fact we’ve been linked with players with such differing profiles kind of suggests we’re maybe in the market for both types and two wide players will be coming in, either to play together or to provide different tactical options. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
